Baking and Pet Hair!
Comments (41)The Cat From Hell mostly stays in the basement because she doesn't like me, so I don't find cat hair in the food, I just find it on Ashley's pillow and since it isn't my pillow, I don't care. WonderWeiner always slept with me, but I was never covered with dog hair. he got brushed every day and I vacumned regularly, so I'm assuming that kept it to a minimum. Plus doxies don't really shed much. Elery's chihuahua sheds more than any other dog I've ever seen, so i'm always vacumning up after he goes but I guess that doesn't really bother me either. I always clean my counters before and after food prep, because that's how I've always done it, it has nothing to do with pet hair. i don't mind finding egg shells or bones, I do dislike finding a bug in something but it doesn't weird me out, I mostly just pick it out. Since I know about the allowable percentage of particulate matter in commercially packaged food, I know that everything we buy at the grocery has bugs or rodent hair or droppings or fingernail clippings or dirt or leaves and twigs or SOMETHING in it. Add the fact that I'm a farm girl and it just doesn't bother me. Of course, the parasites in the fish don't bother me either, as long as they are cooked. Oh, and I also know that lobster IS a bug, but I eat them anyway. Annie...See MoreBreville kitchen toys
Comments (9)Thanks for confirming that Brevilles are good. I think so too, but I've only had it for 2 days :o) It looks so good beside the stainless steel microwave! I have a friend with a Vita-mix, so I had pretty high standards for a blender as I do with any appliance. I can't wait to bring my Breville over and do a comparison with the Vitamix... I'll post a video of it here when we do it. Annie, yes, they are fun, and of course you were right... I always want to know vacuum updates. Panasonic is a great brand... they are the best value for money as far as vacuums are concerned. Very durable and preform well. Their best machines are beltless, but use a bag. Many of the ones that aren't beltless have a metal bottom plate and roller brush which makes them just glide across the floor. Lots of times Panasonics will come with an extra long hose (30 feet?) that is really helpful, because the on board one can be short. Many of them also have a quick draw wand that can be detached in an instant for quickly snatching a cobweb or doing edges. Congratulations! Just be glad you didn't get a Kirby!

Comments (24)We have a 30' class A RV. With your space constrictions (we used to tent camp with everything in totes and coolers), I would say 1 skillet, 1 sauce pan, and a dutch oven with a lid. Lids for them all if possible. 1 flipper, 1 spatula/scraper, 1 slotted spoon, 1 solid bowl spoon. Collapsable bowls and collander. Pot holders/mits. Matches. Salt, pepper, paprika, italian seasoning, chili powder, what ever seasonings you would usually use at home. Tones makes tiny containers with a large selection of spices/seasonings for around $1, that are about the size of Annie's film cans. Portable gas grill. Dish soap, dish towels, paper towels. A friend gave me the idea of using a paper towel holder bungie corded to the awning post to have them handy outside when cooking/eating. Table ware can be stored in small plastic totes. Dish pan. That tiny sink will be a pain in the you know what to do dishes in, so take a dish pan and do them outside when possible. As to packaged food. Check the book sites for a book called Make-A-Mix. There is a volume two, I think. I have the first one. That is my where my sloppy joe recipe came from. Tastes pretty much like manwich. I leave out the green peppers and garlic, but I don't like green peppers and am allergic to the garlic. Still really good. I thing Grainlady mentioned the make a mix books in another thread. Many good recipes for mixes in there. You can use very small plastic zip bags that I find in the jewelry dept of the craft stores to store the seasoning mixes like the sloppy joe mixes in, writing the date made and any needed instructions in marker on the bag. Store a bunch of the small bags in a larger one. Tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate mixes (can find one in the make a mix book, but I have a better one. If you want it, I'll look it up and post it). A camp coffee pot works for boiling water for tea, hot chocolate, coffee, and heating water for dishes. The camp percolater, figure out how many cups it makes, add the amt of coffee you like for that amount of water, and after it starts to perk, time it for 8 minutes. If you want it stronger, go 9, no more than 10 minutes or it gets bitter. And it takes up less space than a counter top coffee maker. We use more paper plates and plastic silver ware than use regular, but your choice. Cereal bowls. Sugar, flour, cornmeal, all in small amts, in airtight containers. If it's airtight, you can leave it there all season, same with the spices. I don't even take the jars of flour and stuff like that out in the winter. Instant rice. dcarch, we have the E2000 generator, and it weighs lots more than the one you have listed. It is very quiet, tho. It would store great on the grate in the hitch, too! So would a portable gas grill. If you want the hot chocolate recipe, and don't get a reply here in this post, email me thru my page, incase I forget to check the thread! I'm getting forgetful!

Comments (32)Yikes, I'm just seeing this! I bought my Linx in early August and I love it. I can vacuum for about 30 minutes with it before it needs to recharge. I only have the one battery, but think Maire Cate's suggestion of a spare one is good. We have brick floors throughout the house with many Oriental rugs. I also have two dogs that shed. I love how easy it is to do quick clean ups. The only downside I can think of is that the canister fills up pretty quickly and needs to be emptied after every 30 minutes or so of vacuuming. But, emptying the Linx is very quick and easy. I also like that it stands on it's own. Oh, and it's not very loud . . . although it's not very quiet either. For Christmas I received the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser hand vac to use on my sofas and chairs. We don't allow our Dobie on the furniture, but our 12-lb Tibetan Spaniel, who sheds a lot makes this hand vac worth it's weight in gold! It got great reviews online and I'm very happy with mine. I also own the Shark Portable Steamer, which I really like. It's good for cleaning away water deposits on the guest room glass shower door and it's tracks, etc. I use it on our luggage before I bring it inside after a trip, to kill any possible bedbugs. I bought it after I did bring bedbugs home a couple of years ago from either the airlines or limousine. This Christmas it came in handy steaming the wrinkles out of my 120" tablecloth. I would LOVE to buy a steam cleaner for my brick floors, but I'm not sure that there's one out there that cleans brick floors. These floors would chew up most fabric covers on those I've seen.
